A major dependency of rDiff, rQuant, mTIM is octave. If the linux distribution provides an octave package, then this one can be used in most cases for rDiff and rQuant (most distributions only provide a 32bit version, which limits the size of matrices and the programs may fail, in particular mTIM).

We currently prepare the installation of individual tools via the galaxy toolshed. Once galaxy supports fully automated tool installations we will start to support installation of oqtans tools via the toolshed.
